Subnautica is a videogame that released its early access in 2014. It’s an underwater horror/adventure games where you swim around an alien ocean collecting materials to find a way to get off of the planet.
I played this game last year with my friend who begged me to get it. I had already known what it was due to my favorite youtubers playing it when I was younger. I also had it already; I was just too scared to play it. I was scared of the big open ocean that I had to explore. But, because of my friends begging, I played it anyways.
When I got into the game, I started off in a shallow area where I could collect basic materials without much risk. I was even scared of that part, but I still played because I knew there was a story to the game. I eventually progressed so much that I had a submarine and could go to the deep ocean where there was a lot of scary sea creatures. I was freaking out throughout the entire time I was playing, but I had so much fun. It had me thinking a lot and was a very beautiful game. It had a bunch of journal entries and data logs around the map that gave you some lore about the things that happened on that planet. Some of the aliens there weren’t even from that planet.
There were voice logs and crashed life pods everywhere that gave so much lore about the company that got the main character there. The main character isn’t even important to the overall story kind of. He’s just a janitor that just so happened to survive the crash landing and to something that really developed the whole story. What he does at the end of the game is really the only thing he does that contributes to the story. The rest of it is just him being vessel for the player to use to figure out the story and play the game. I thought that was really interesting.
Subnautica was a very big part of my early 2024. I loved going home to play that game knowing that I was closer and closer to finishing a masterpiece. I eventually downloaded the spin-off game and completed that too. All of this to say that YOU ALL SHOULD PLAY SUBNAUTICA. IT IS SUPER DUPER FUN. Also, Subnautica two is coming out soon. After years of waiting, we are finally getting it. So, when it’s here, don’t talk to me because that’s all I will be thinking about.
I LOVEEEE subnautica. I haven’t played it myself but I want to so bad. One of my favorite youtubers talks about it constantly but he’s never made an actually playthrough of it and ugh i just need to play it.
I love subnautica and when I first played it I was in the same boat as you I wouldn’t even go out at night!
I never watched any Subnautica videos except like two minutes of a Jacksepticeye playthrough, but I do not like water! Nut this game seems very interesting, I love lore!
I love Subnautica! I remember watching the playthroughs and then instantly getting the game.
